I'm leaving for Kenya in just 12 days! I can't believe it! My plane flies out exactly one year and ten days (almost to the minute!) after I first heard about the opportunity. How's that for a fabulous, God-ordained coincidence??

I have all of my luggage now. Besides my carry-on allowances, I am now the proud owner of a big, red Samsonite suitcase and two MASSIVE black duffel bags. I can comfortably curl up inside any of them -- that's how big they are! (Or....how small I am. I don't know.)

Buying them was fairly painless. (Key word being "fairly".) But packing? Not so much. I'm going to be relying heavily on the bathroom scale when it comes to making sure I don't exceed the airline's weight restrictions. It's going to be hard. At this point, my packing list alone could probably fill the first suitcase!

For real, when I first saw the weight restrictions, I wished for an Undetectable Extension charm on all three suitcases, but then realized the weight would stay the same.... (Or wouldn't it? Muggle, muggle head.)

But all magic aside, I think I came up with a reasonable method for weighing my bags beforehand:

I would just remember that you can do laundry there. Take 7 to 10 days worth of clothes, things that wash and wear well, clothes you could easily hand wash in a bathroom sink if necessary. Only take a couple (that means two - ha ha) pairs of sturdy sandals (something where your toes are somewhat enclosed and they won't slide off of your feet - Teva's for example). Every time I have traveled overseas, I try to remember it's about practicality & not drawing attention to myself vs. fashion. You are probably going to feel "dustier" than you are used to but it's all part of the experience. Have a great time!
